What To Do If You Get a Bad Hair Straightening Experience at home

The world of hair straighteners is filled with great potential — the potential to change your hairstyle with a few minutes and effort. But, if you ask anyone who has ever used a hair straightener, it is also a world fraught with danger — the risk of being burned or even worse, sustaining long-term damage to your hair. A bad experience can make some people feel like resigning from the quest for that perfect straight hair.

If you had a bad experience getting your hair straightened, you’re not alone. Many people experience this sensation, especially if they have thick or coarse hair. But there are ways to minimize the damage and avoid future problems.


First, Don't Panic.

The first thing to do is relax. Remember that your hair has been through a lot and it will take time to recover from the blowout. The more stressed you are about your hair, the worse it will look. So take deep breaths and don't worry about how your hair looks right now — just focus on taking care of it as best as possible so that it can heal properly.


Cut off all the Damaged Hair.

This will help reduce the amount of breakage that is occurring and allow your hair to grow back faster. You should also trim dead ends as well if they are sticking out past the rest of your hair.

If you're unsure about how much damage there is, ask for help from a professional hairstylist or someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to straightening hair.


Conditioning is the Key.

Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner or hair mask that's made specifically for hair that has undergone all types of straightening. Because heat can cause moisture loss in your hair, conditioning is one of the most important things you can do for yourself after getting a blowout.


Choose a good conditioner or hair mask that contains hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, avocado oil, or shea butter and moisturizing proteins like keratin or collagen to help restore moisture levels in your hair shafts so they don't become brittle and break off easily. Apply this product generously throughout your tresses, then cover them with a shower cap for a couple of minutes so all those nutrients get absorbed. Rinse thoroughly after.

Consider Heat Protection Products

Consider investing in some heat protection products before your next attempt at straightening your curls with heat-styling tools.

There are many different ways to protect your hair from heat damage including serums and sprays that help minimize frizz and keep strands smooth while protecting them from heat damage like split ends or breakage caused by repeated exposure.


Go for a product that has the ingredients to give you the results you are looking for. Products designed for heat styling contain ingredients like coconut oil or argan oil, which is much more nourishing to the hair than other mineral oil and other cheap alternatives.


Correct+ has developed an Argan Oil Serum that has triple action formula which penetrates deeply into the hair and an ALL-IN-ONE LEAVE-ON HAIR MASK. It’s a Spray mask without rinsing! Cool right?







In a perfect world, all hair straighteners would be created equal, wearing the same label by their name. Unfortunately for us, this isn't guaranteed.

All of these questions will cross your mind when finding your next best straightening tool.
